The long-awaited revenge could take place nine years later
Former world champion in eight categories Manny Pacquiao announced that he was going to fight the former five-division champion Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition rematch during 2024.
The 45-year-old Filipino did not specify the details of the announced event. There has also been no confirmation from the American yet.
Let us remember that 46-year-old Mayweather recently announced a repeat exhibition fight against John Gotti III, the grandson of the late boss of the famous Gambino mafia clan, John Gotti. This fight is scheduled for February 2024.
Pacquiao has officially announced his retirement in 2021. In his last fight, “Pac Man” lost to Yordenis Ugas by decision. At the same time, according to the latest information, Manny wants to finally end his professional career at the Olympic Games in Paris.
In August, Manny announced his desire to return to professional boxing. Recently, an announcement took place of his exhibition fight against multiple world champion in Thai boxing Buakaw Banchamek. The confrontation will take place in Bangkok on April 20.
In 2015, Pacquiao lost a welterweight bout to Mayweather by unanimous decision, with the WBA super, WBC, and WBO titles on the line.
